One. Day. If you cannot exclude males from your feminism or celebrations and honors for even one day, you clearly have no clue on what basis women are oppressed globally and how stunning female accomplishments truly are in the face of that oppression.
Solidarity with @FaeJohnstone, a courageous trans feminist leader.
Disgusting to see the hate and attacks - many of them from the far right in the US.
A reminder of the need to take on the rise of anti trans hate here in our own country.

@FreddyLA7 You’ve gotten yourselves some fans. Well deserved. Americans sometimes forget how magical our home,and really is. You’ve helped us see that again and we love you for it.
@TheCalvinCooli1@JohnCornyn you’re so bitter. All you had to do was push legislation supported by the vast majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle. This is ALL of your own doing.
She was literally assaulted by a male wrestler and people are like ‘well actually it’s ok for him to jam his fingers there.’
No. It’s really not ok. It wasn’t a valid wresting move. It wasn’t an accident. He even went back and did it again. It was assault. AND IT’S NOT OK.
NEW: Prosecutors say they will not charge trans wrestler with alleged sexual assault of Kallie Keeler because of "case law concerning consent in athletic contests." If only the state of Washington had given Kallie the option to consent to being touched by a male.
@babybeginner@LouiseM93588150 It’s been an absolute thrill getting a front row seat to Bruiser’s transformation. Thank you for sharing it. It’s the best thing on X!
@Kevin_Maguire I hear they’re also really worried about migrants in the hospitality sector. That’s a huge relief bc I know anything, it’s that if my son were stabbed in the eyes, hotel workers would be my biggest concern too.
@nyaraVT All males should be in male prison. That’s not an experiment and it’s not torture. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to lock females in cells with males- especially males who are convicted violent sex offenders with their genitalia attatched.
Brian has a pup. The fell has not seen one in a while, and the fell has opinions, and so does the pup, and almost none of them are correct yet.
His name is Moss. He is a Border Collie, fourteen weeks old, black and white and entirely convinced, and he has arrived on a Cumbrian hill to learn the oldest job a dog has in this country, which is to move sheep without harming a hair on them, using nothing but position, patience, and the strange ancient power that a collie carries in its eyes.
Because that is the thing about a collie, the intricacy that makes the breed what it is. A collie does not herd by chasing or biting. It herds by "the eye," a fixed, crouching, predatory stare inherited straight from the wolf, the look that says to a sheep "I am a hunter and you will move," delivered by a dog that has been bred for a century and a half to feel the entire predatory sequence right up to the final pounce and then stop, and hold, and never complete it. A working sheepdog is a wolf that has been taught to do everything except the last thing. The control is the whole art.
Moss has the eye. He does not yet have the control. He has, this week, "gathered" a watering can, a wheelbarrow, three hens belonging to the neighbour, and Brian's wife's washing, dropping into the crouch and giving each of them the full ancestral stare before attempting to move it somewhere it did not wish to go.
Brian is not worried. Brian has done this before, more times than he will say, and he knows that the instinct arriving wrong and early is exactly how it is meant to arrive, and that the job now is years of patient shaping, the pup working beside an older dog and an older man until the wolf in him learns the one rule that makes him useful instead of dangerous: everything except the last thing.
Moss gave Doris the eye on Tuesday.
Doris, who has been stared at by better, carried on grazing.
Moss sat down, confused. The first lesson on the fell, delivered free, by a ewe: the look only works on something that believes it. He has a great deal to learn. He is exactly where he should be.
Do elephants remember who was kind to them?
Yes – and across decades. Our ex-orphans return to the stockades long after they've gone wild, recognise specific Keepers by name, and bring their wild-born calves home to introduce them. They even come back for help.
Last month, Melia walked her new daughter Moon to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit – sixteen years after we rescued her. She came back so the people who raised her could meet her calf.
I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!
